Phony Accusations from the PA GOP

Fox News, 11/4/08, Rick Leventhal: Well theyre saying that some Republican poll watchers were asked to leave this polling place because the Judge of Elections said that the Democrats are the party of power here, that the Republicans were in the minority and would have to leave --this is what the Republican poll watchers said when they showed up here. Democratic poll watchers said thats not the case, that she was also asked to leave and that they would all be allowed in intermittently. When I went inside I spoke with one of the people running this polling place, she said listen its really crowded in here, were trying to make room for the people who are actually doing the voting, were just trying to keep things orderly. And in fact, we can show you can see the back door here, you can see the back of some of the voting machines. It is crowded in there, I walked inside, took a look. There are some long lines. They're actually three precincts voting in this location. And apparently, this is certainly some sort of an argument going on here between Republicans and Democrats, but according to the Committee of 70, which is an independent election watchdog group, they say there's no problem here, Bill.

too funny... earlier the youTube clips of the initial report were rife w/ racism and charges of "see what's going to happen?" I said then that we weren't hearing the entire story and that folks should hold on and try getting some facts first.

I have to admit though that Fox shocked me by straightening out story and debunking something they almost blew up into an "event"

Guess some folks learned after Ashley Todd.
